The market had barely absorbed the staking pool explanation when tensions in the Middle East rose sharply over the weekend. Node operators watched the falling price while also dealing with a software fault in key submission and reward claims.
The market plunged, with Bitcoin briefly falling to USD 61,000; XAI broke below USD 1 and dropped to 0.92. Mandatory update 1.1.7 arrived the same day. It fixed a bug that submitted the same key twice and wasted a claim transaction. Someone in the group urged everyone to update, but nobody called the break below one dollar a bargain as they had in March. Even Sisyphus did not dare buy the dip.
The update addressed a specific fault in the claim process; it could not tell holders when the decline would end. The Night Watchman urged the group to treat software maintenance and trading decisions separately. Members first checked that their keys could claim normally, while the question of buying into the fall remained unsettled.
